Junior Dos Santos, Cain Velasquez break down their UFC 155 main event

December is here, and Santa Claus announced his presence early for fans with a whopping four UFC events on the schedule.

The biggest, literally, takes place at the promotion’s annual year-end card – UFC 155, which features a heavyweight title rematch between champion Junior Dos Santos and the man he took the title from a little more than a year ago, Cain Velasquez.

You can now check out video interviews with the two big men in advance of their title fight rematch.

Also slated for the main card are former light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffin against contender Phil Davis; middleweights Tim Boetsch and Constantinos Philippou; lightweights Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller; and middleweights Alan Belcher and Yushin Okami.

But the big talk, of course, is the coveted heavyweight title, and Dos Santos and Velasquez will play it back. JDS took the title from Velasquez at UFC on FOX 1 with a quick first-round stoppage. He since has defended it against Frank Mir at UFC 146 when Alistair Overeem was kept from meeting him after testing for elevated testosterone levels. Velasquez, in his first fight after losing the belt, stopped Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in the first round at UFC 146 to earn his way back to the No. 1 contender’s spot.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
